TP-LINK Archer T2UH

I've been trying to get a new wireless card working on my computer, I've had a TP-LINK WN722N working for a while (the kernel supported it out of the box) but it doesn't support 5Ghz. I thought I'd try another adapter(Archer T2UH) from TP-LINK since the previous worked well. but it seems that doesn't work like the previous. I'm a bit new to arch so any help would be appreciated (I can post logs if needed).

Re: TP-LINK Archer T2UH

Bad choice of hardware. The T2UH uses a MediaTek chipset. MediaTek's Linux support is... bad. You can try your luck compiling this, but I somehow doubt you'll have success.

Get instead the TP-Link Archer T4U, this one uses a Realtek chipset and works with the rtl8812au-dkms-git driver from AUR. Realtek's usb drivers aren't ideal either, but at least they work.
